So every few months I try a new Rye, lots of good ones here in Oregon. So far my favorite has been from Crater Lake distillery here in Bend, NE Oregon's Pendelton had a really nice bottle, but lost on drinkability. Today I picked up one thas has been on my radar for months. Rogue Spirits (part of Rogue Brewery born in Ashland, OR) has made some very good beer in the past, but honestly I like their root beer more these days. I've also tried their whiskey in the past and was very surprised by the smoothness and flavor. Today, the is the Oregon Rye Whiskey that I've picked up. From the first sip, I realized that Rogue and Crater Lake are need to going to have to go head to head to pick a winner at some point. But for now, I'm gonna put a hurt on this bottle.
